Yup.

Everything that was said about Whitman in the article was exactly what she projected: A total lack of sincerity.


All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Whitman together again

Sayonara, Meg and Carly... Find some consolation in your millions. :P


Interesting to see Gavin Newsom, popular mayor of SF, lieutenant governor elect, effectively in tutelage under Jerry. :)

Yup... If Jerry steps down after four, Newsom would most likely be the front runner for the Dems.

Well Newsom WAS going to run this election cycle but he was too busy boning a woman that wasn't his wife so he had to wave off his bid for governor.

Really?

I'm surprised he won Lt. Governor then.... And that his opponent didn't play that up.

Yeah he got busy with his secretary back in 2007. Look up Gavin newsoom affair and you'll see references to it.

I guess his opponent did have the funds to go there... It'll be different when he tries to run for the top of the ticket. :sweat:

I think that's precisely it. Not as much scrutiny for the Lt. Governor's race, so he was able to get in there like swimwear.

Newsom just wasn't that widely recognized throughout the state is all. Though the image of extramarital sex is certainly titillating. :hehe:

So what are we going to do about Korea?

The carrier strike group led by the USS Washington is the area as well as numerous other vessels...but we aren't going to do anything...not to say that we should.

Having said that we have dispatched the SS Minnow to conduct surveillance.

Hehe. Yes. Afterward Gilligan will make a landing at Inchon to emulate MacArthur during the war.
